I'm here. I know quite a few black ticklers/ticklees around the U.S. I'm not sure how many are members who post here, though -- as I rarely do. I am pleased to see more of us post, as well as women of color. "Back in the day", any woman -- much less a black woman -- wouldn't dare post on a tickling forum. If a woman posted, she would have been pounced on as swiftly as a small mammal being attacked by a swarm of hungry army ants. I admire the strength and courage of the women of color that do post. I wish that there were more who will do the same.
